Prop Firm Review-Restriction & Gag Clause Tracker
Does this prop firm contractually restrict criticism? To answer that, we read the published terms (including terms PDFs) of 17 major firms on 21 August 2026 and recorded (1) clauses banning negative statements on review sites or social media, and (2) clauses banning publication of support communications. Every row carries a short verbatim excerpt, its source and a check date.

Why this dataset exists
A review score cannot tell you whether critical customers risk breaching their contract by posting. Where a speech-restriction clause exists, negative voices are structurally suppressed — the same 4.5 does not mean the same thing. We publish Trustpilot scores; this dataset is the context needed to read them.

Our search terms found nothing. This is not proof that no such clause exists.
Method and caveats
We fetched each firm’s published terms page (JS-rendered sites were read in a real browser) and terms PDFs on 21 August 2026, and searched the full text for: disparage, defamatory, review site, negative review/comment/statement, non-disparagement, criticize, internal correspondence, make public, and equivalents in Japanese for Japanese documents. “None found” means exactly that; contracts shown only after login are out of scope and noted as such. Whether such clauses are enforceable varies by jurisdiction and consumer-protection law, and enforcement in practice is a separate question. This page is information, not legal advice. Terms change without notice — always read the original before you buy.
Conflict-of-interest disclosure
This site is an affiliate partner of FTMO, TradeDay, Fintokei, The5%ers and Funded7. Three of those partners — Fintokei, The5%ers and Funded7 — carry clauses we classify as speech restrictions, and the records above say so plainly. Partnership does not affect what we record.
